Mackenzie's precise work often leads people to believe that she uses a machine, but she actually only uses a vice and a small mallet. Inspired by baskets, textiles, ceramics, and surface patterns from around the world, she often incorporates French passementerie and Native American basketry techniques into her contemporary jewelry designs. She only works with recycled materials, choosing metals based on their working properties and color. Delicate wires of recycled 18K gold and sterling silver are hand woven into this stunning bracelet, creating modern jewelry that is a perfect marriage of beauty and strength.
